    I love this controller, very sleek and well designed. Great paddles, it also comes with extras and the charger is build into the case! I like that a lot. The case is also very durable. I recommend this over scuff a million times better !

    This controller is just amazing. I was skeptical to order based on cost but I would recommend it with ease after using it. The controller just feels much more premium and solid compared to the Original Elite. The customzations are better, the grips are better, the triggers are a pleasure. Even the Xbox Home button has been upgraded and is sturdy and not "Squishy". Within a few minutes of customizing I noticed an immediate different in my MW abilities. I didnt expect to notice any real difference, but it was there!!! The charging base is also a huge blessing. I was excited to see it was USB-C as it was the biggest thing I hated about the xbox controllers of past (micro USB is terrible), however the dock has made that moot anyway!! Also unlike the cable, putting it on the dock charges it without turning the xbox back on

    Very slightly smaller profile with some nice enhancements over the V1, certainly more durable. Comes with a charging stand as well. Pricey, yes, but worth the investment imo.

    This is by far the best control I’ve ever owned.! A lot of people have negative reviews or mixed reviews about this so far I haven’t had any problems but that’s why I bought the warranty. But by far it’s the best I’ve ever had!

    This controller is too perfect, from the full grip around, to the tension tighteners, and shortening the triggers is so amazing. And then to top of off, you’re able to configure up to 3 settings for 3 different games. Highly recommended.

    First off, I love this controller. The overall build and quality is immensely better than the standard Xbox controller. And it should be, given that it is 2-3x more expensive than the standard, but you definitely get what you pay for. The sheer amount of customization is overwhelming, but is great for the serious gamer. I have noticed the RB button started to stick within the first 4 months of casual gaming, so I am very disappointed about that. My standard controllers only began to have button sticking issues after 1-2 years of use. Subtracting 2 stars because of this.

      Hi Alex,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part. It's especially great to hear that you're a fan of its customization features and sturdy construction, too. While it sounds like your Elite 2 may be outside of its 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty, we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support to see if there is a fix for the issue you are experiencing here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
